An Option of Circles

A circle is a circle. We live with such movements, though in lines from one point to another. No one is quite sure when their circle will end or begin, if they are making their debut into the world or into society. People, who face disorders of the Mental Health type, even of the physical health kind, one possibly leading to the other; often disdain from seeking the order of circles, lines and squares to alleviate any problems which may have arisen. There is no sense in such an existence, it’s all spontaneous, from tears, to laughter; even anger.
It’s when this all stops or never ends that many are classified as Mentally disabled; seeking the answer to any particular problem or even acceptance of one’s physical maladies.
I have days when I don’t want to be anywhere amongst the crowd even though the world is complacent. I would rather sleep and wake up knowing today is not spinning in a circle like yesterday, or hasn’t carried onto another day. I take medication especially for days like these and call a few friends for reassurance and advice, and then I walk a few more feet. The people I talk to are my strength when I am depleted, when my mind should care to sleep. Talking to my clinician is assuring, knowing I can trust him with the details when I begin to feel “under the hammer”.
Recovery is part of these dimensions, relying upon our own ability to see through the haze which will not let you believe you are free. Using certain tools you can weld to reconstruct and surpass the lines and circles you cannot measure such as, Cognitive Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. The logic is real in its simplicity it’s just a matter of believing.
